The latest episode of Off-Mikes, Back to the Suture, is live on ESPN.com and continues to be very much alive in the hearts and minds of Animax Entertainment.

Each year during the holidays Animax likes to showcase Catching Kringle, the animated film we produced for Jellyman that features Danny DeVito, John Rhys-Davies, and Larry King. The film deals with a literal war on Christmas, so perk up Bill O’Reilly, Ann Coulter, and Sean Hannity fans because it’s an animated battle for the spirit of the holiday season. Check it out here and have a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, and any other holiday you’d like to celebrate.

The latest episode of the Emmy Award winning animated series “Off-Mikes” once again launched on both the ESPN.com and ESPNRadio.com homepages. In iSlob, it finally dawns on Golic that there may be a reason why he’s got a spare tire.

Animax does a lot of work with the Starlight Starbright Children’s Foundation so we wanted to help promote their an online auction they are running featuring celebrities signing holiday bears. Some of your (or more likely your children’s!) favorite young celebrities have teamed up to raise money for Starlight Starbright Children’s Foundation through an online auction of autographed Shining Stars Holiday Bears. Visit eBay to view the complete details and the full list of participating celebrities. That list includes:

Animax has started with the folks over at Cockeyed Character Factory on their animated property Los Rapiditos. The Rapiditos are a cute little gang of bilingual car people and they have the catchiest theme song ever. More to come…

The next episode of Off-Mikes launched today and it’s all about coffee and the need for caffeine. The episode was promoted on the ESPN.com homepage also. Between ESPN and WWE, Animax Entertainment has the sports market cornered. We also did some animation awhile back for the Buccaneers NFL football team that we’d forgotten to mention. So much going on it’s hard to keep up with ourselves sometimes.

The first episode of the cartoon we created for WWE is the most watched video on the WWE.com site – even more than the Top 10 Most Diva-licious Moments. Now that’s saying something.

The next episode of ESPN’s Off-Mikes is live: Dismember the Titan. Never ask Greenberg to spot you.

This is a huge deal -

UK regulators have banned advertising foods high in fat, salt and sugar around not only children’s programming but also for youth-oriented and adult programs which attract a lot of viewers under 16. It’s crazy! Imagine no more Fruity Pebbles or Coco Puffs or Gumi Bears or McDonalds or Burger King… the list goes on. The decision follows an earlier agreement with British advertisers banning the use of cartoon characters, licensed characters and celebrities who appeal to children in commercials.

Is the US next?
